Samuels placed wagers ranging from a couple of hundred bucks to $5,000 on horse racing and NFL games, the sources said.

Investigators are looking into whether he also bet on other sports, including baseball.

Samuels — who sometimes allegedly phoned bets in from work — would also place wagers for other team employees, but not baseball players, the sources said.

Doesn’t appear the gambling itself was the problem, it was the fact he was gambling with Tony Soprano. Don’t know if Samuels is the central figure in the case, but you know how it goes down in the NYC, they like to leak these guys name out to generate additional press for their cases.

If he did bet on baseball or give inside information about games I could see how that could be problem, but there is no evidence of that currently.
